FALL RIVER — Bristol Community College will host the latest Southeastern Massachusetts Commuter Rail Task Force meeting Tuesday at 3 p.m. at its Commonwealth Center Atrium, 777 Elsbree St.

In conjunction with the Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic Development District, task force membership includes 31 communities from this region to the Stoughton area that would be affected by development of the South Coast commuter rail project and rail improvements to aid the commercial economy.

Other organizations involved include regional transit authorities, chambers of commerce, the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, partnering agencies and environmental groups.

This is the task force’s 10th meeting since being formed two years ago. Susan Teal, a planning board member from Rochester, serves as interim chairwoman.

Tuesday’s agenda includes an update on the South Coast Rail by Jean Fox, Massachusetts Department of Transportation project manager.

Financial topics Fox plans to cover include an update on the state transportation bond bill that’s passed the House and is being referred to the Senate, the state’s five-year Capital Improvement Plan funding that includes South Coast Rail and related financial issues.

Fox will also update the status of the Final Environmental Impact Statement/Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIS/FEIR) that MassDOT adopted and remains under review.

Among other topics of this quarterly meeting will be a presentation by the regional planning manager of the state Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development on priorities impacting the 31 communities.

Victor Negrete of EOHED will present priority development areas and priority protection areas that have been identified with municipal and regional groups. The longer-term goal is to incorporate those priorities into a local state map of the impacted 31 cities and towns, said Steve Smith, SRPEDD executive director.

Negrete will give a status update of that project.

With SRPEDD involved with helping procure five rounds of technical assistance grants of $5,000 to $25,000 for those communities, task force meetings often involve updates of those projects.

Somerset’s conceptual vision for the Slade’s Ferry Crossing District development with the hired architectural firm SMOOK Architecture & Urban Design had been listed on the agenda, but was cancelled because of scheduling conflicts, Smith said.

He said representatives of Wareham would discuss their rail-related projects.

BCC President Jack Sbrega will offer opening remarks at the meeting, expected to last for 1½ to two hours.
